For some reason my celica always seems to drain my battery when I park it and dont use it overnight. After a jump it fires right up and have no further issues. What I have done when its completely dead I jump start it, drive it for like an hour and let the alternator charge the battery up. When I go to park it overnight, I remove the main 60A fuse in the engine bay and leave it like that. The next day It fires right up no problems, but if I leave the fuse in place next morning, starter just starts clikkkin, cant even crank the car. I have looked for something thats draining the power but cant find anything, I dont even have a stereo in place. Any help appreicated.

Random is right... brand name batteries are usually known to provide better quality. But that is simple logic (you get what you pay for)
on another note. its not always the battery. - check if you have any aftermarket hookups examples of. LED wiring, amp wiring, like sources that could draw from the battery. - if you do, disconnect them, one day at a time to see if your battery is drain the next day. ***example: if you have a led wiring hookup, disconnect it. anf if your battery is fine the next day. you know its your led right? *** (i once had a power draw from the on/off switch of a glow gauge set) - check for any burnt bulbs, rarely but sometimes they can still draw small amounts of power - you might have a bad relay somewhere in the car (a big pain in the you know what but its happen to me before) hope this helps, good luck. -------------------- |
